Let’s start our trip around the farm up in Tri Cities this morning. The ValleyCats placed four players on the National League NY-Penn League All Star Team. The four are: Phil Rummel, Phil Disher, J. B. Shuck & T. J. Steele. One omission that raised some eyebrows was David Flores.
“I understand, everyone can’t make it,” Rancont said. “It’s a tough process picking those guys. I’m happy for our four.”
The DSL Astros are bad. There is not much else to say. Their record is 17-42. It is the second worst record in the 37 team DSL. There are six organizations in the league that have two teams with better records than the D-Stros. Only the split squad of the Diamondbacks/Reds have a worse record.
DSL AstrosWell it was a weekend to remember in Round Rock. The Express took two of three from the I-Cubs but it was the loss on Saturday night that was most memorable. Friday, the Express rode Nick Gorneault’s grand slam to a 7-4 win. Sunday, they rode Ron Chiavacci’s solid start to a 4-1 win. But Saturday night was the big deal. The I-Cubs hit 8 home runs, 4 by the same player. That player also started a triple play that on replays appears to have been the result of a bad call. It was the second triple play the Express have hit into in less than 3 weeks.Read More
